The war over Inter target Domenico Berardi continues as Sassuolo's general manager says 'the relationship with Juventus means nothing'.

The Nerazzurri's link to the young Italian striker came as a surprise to the Old Lady, who had purportedly already been turned down.

Juventus sporting director Beppe Marotta declared it seemed unlikely to him that Berardi would go to Inter, but he was promptly hushed by the player's agent.

Now Sassuolo's general manager Giovanni Carnevali added his own view on the situation.

“Together with Domenico we took an important decision 20 days ago,” he said, as reported by the Gazzetta dello Sport. “He chose to play with us for another season. That's why his sale is not even being considered.

“I'd like to specify that our consolidated relationship with Juve means nothing in this situation, so much so that the Bianconeri have no option on the player.

“Berardi is our treasure. We gave up on €25m to keep counting on his contribution this season. Our plans haven't changed, and in any case Inter haven't presented any written offer yet.”

The Nerazzurri are believed to be offering €25m for the player, along with a five-year contract for €2.5m per season. They are currently waiting for Berardi to return from his holidays, whereupon he'll discuss the offer with his agent.
